The Bolt database is meant to be a clean, readable implementation of a fast single-level key/value data store.
This section gives an overview of the basic concepts and structure of the file format.
### B+ Tree
Bolt uses a data structure called an append-only B+ tree to store its data.
This structure allows for efficient traversal of data.
TODO: Explain better. :)
### Pages
Bolt stores its data in discrete units called pages.
